Well our year is well under way . Went out Friday / Saturday @ Sydney Dragway running a support class for the Australian Top Fuel Championship series .For us low bucks guys it was more of a glorified T&T . I have gone back to footbrake and running my Hoosier radial slicks for the foreseeable future . Also stripped front shocks down and replaced oil , rethought my shock settings particularly front . That seems to have worked but with DA it was hard to really see .
The weather was way too much Summer , on Saturday @ 1.30pm DA was 4300 , temp 108F and water grains were 130 . Grains never got under about 110 both days temps in the 80/90s . Plymouth was about 1 1/2-2 tenths and 1 1/2 mph off , ran 10.53/10.55 over 4 passes across both days . Seems that is about as slow as it will go . Won both passes in CSO but backed off for 2nd win and wasnt close to dial . This weather is a 2 or 3 times a year deal thankfully .
This is video from Friday .

I run in Super Street , DYO 10.00-12.99 .
I will be towing , yes I have caved in cant afford the Plymouth fuel bill for 12 hr each way , to Mildura for a 400Thunder national series event in March , hoping it will be a hair cooler definately less humidity / grains .
